Reading Part B: Hans the Hedgehog

Hans the Hedgehog on a Cock

This story was very interesting to read, as are all the others of course. The moral of the story was essentially that you should do what you promise. We see that the first king was greedy in nature and did not want to give up his first sight. I wonder if this was due to age cause later we see that a second king came through the woods who was older. I feel like age played a part in the story as far as the second king being wiser. The story was told in a third person/narrator point of view and I wonder how it would be from a first person point of view with that being of the Hedgehog. I would like to re-write this story but have it from his perspective and also maybe make the Hedgehog a girl and have the king's promise her their hand in marriage.

Pomsky  By Kaelin Tully  Hi guys, I’m Crystel Fields! I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma and currently a super-senior (last year…woo!) majoring in Microbiology. I know what you are wondering...“Whoa, are you Pre -Med or something?”, yes I am! I chose my major not only because of it having a vast majority of the classes need to apply to medical school, but because I truly find it interesting. I love microscopic work and being able to identify what a certain bacterium is. Furthermore, I also really enjoy having the ability to work through and diagnose patients with various conditions like in a class I am currently taking called Medical Microbiology. I hope to go on to medical school within a year to become a surgeon, not sure on specific practice yet. Anyways, enough about school ha-ha, in my free time I like to do a little of everything: hangout with friends, read, craft, and of course attend OU football games! My time with friends could be spent doing anything from just staying inside

Lion Attack There were a group of women whom seeked out roots, herbs, and other wild food. On day, on a trip home they became hungry and decided to eat something from the fields. They noticed that a woman's herbs were particularly good while all of the others' were not. The woman, who had picked all the delicious herbs and food, over heard the other women talking about her. They made her throw away her wonderful herbs which really saddened her. She decided that she wasn't going to listen to them and ran into the woods where she came upon a hare. "Give me some water that I may drink", she requested of the hare. The hare responded that he had borrowed the cup from his uncle lion and she could not drink from it. Once again she asked only to be met with the same reply. At this point she was pretty frustrated and thought what kind of hare has an uncle lion. Therefore, she snatched the cup away and teased the little rabbit claiming how she would not be scare
